For the Physical Training Of Girls.

physical training for girls, and though
nothing is definitely concluded the out.
look is favorable. So far as any plans
have been precisely formulated, the de-
sign Of the new school will be to dispel
the popular notion that the ill-health of
women is natural-that they are the
victims of functions whose exercise
necessarily constitutes o sort Of invalid
ism. The girls entering will be treated
according to bio Lewis old theory that
the microscopic misses who swarm
about our schools and chatter in our
streets are the curiosities of "high
civilization" and that women who give
free play to their lungs and stomachs
ought to grow nearly as large as men.
All pupils in this school of the future,
which may be school of the present
within year: will be subjected to
daily regimen with carefully appor-
toned exercise, with view of deter
mining the possibility of improving
their bodies as the bodies of young
men are improved in the German gym
nasia. A full curriculum of studies,
probably of the academic or college
preparatory grade, will be, it is thought,
adopted covering four years time.
Some restrictions as to dress it is pro-
posed to adopt, not amounting to uni
form, but making short, loose, light at
tire, with no pressure whatever about
the waist, and hygienic shoes compul-
sorry, leaving the girls all day long as
much at liberty as boys in their gym
nasium dress. Pupils will be measured
on entering, and an average gain of
two and half inches about the chest,
five inches about the waist, one and
half inches about the arm, and an inch
about the forearm is what is looked for
ward to as the desirable result OF the
first years bodily training and exercise

he has kept me from my rest since

mentous question, "Shall ne take his
waterproof coat or not?" If he does,
it should be strapped up at once with
the other things already lying on the
hall table, ready for departure; not a
moment is to be lost. His toilet is
hasty enough, but not speedy; for, IN

nomination, but before the ballot was an
nounced the two latter withdrew, and the
vote resulted in the selection of Columbus.
While the citizens of Columbus are jubi-
liant over securing the next national en-
campment of the G. A. r, there is feel
ing prevailing that the city will not be able
to accommodate the people who will
attend. The centennial celebration Of the
first settlement in the State will be in
progress there at the same time. and that
alone will heavily tax the present hotel
facilities of the city.

ton was almost unanimously voted down
in the encampment on tie morning of
Sept. 80.
Then came the election of officers. and
